The entries will be graded by a number of instructors. After grading, members will be accredited with the appropriate points if they pass, and adjustments will be made to their REC level.
Passing grade is 6 or higher.

Hi Nihilist1! Congrats on your first REC take!!
You have a good based here so the next step is to polish details so your metal rhythm technique moves to the next level. The more you practice this, the more comfortable you'll be changing chords and combining single note riffs with chords. This will help you to feel more comfortable so you'll be able to relax more you fretting hand when playing each chord. We usually do much more strength than needed to it's always good to think on it and see if you can press less and relax more your hand. There are basically three things to pay attention here: - The first one is timing. When you play the muted 16th notes downstrokes you are not going tight. A good training would be to isolate that measure that combines 4 muted downstrokes with a long power chord and play it as a loop over metronome (or over a drum loop). You need to get used to the rhythm but also to be able to switch from it to longer notes. - The second one is the sound of your palm muting. This requires some experimenting since you can get different types of muted sound by adding more or less pressure, but also by putting your hand closer of further from your guitar bridge. This metal style requires a tighter sound. Check out Lian's slow closer angles to see his palm muting approach. You can explore some of these lessons as well. - Finally, you need to work on the silence between chord changes. Sometimes the chords are muted too early so there is a gap between one chord and the following one. This requires special attention and practice. Ok mate, I hope that this feedback gives you some ideas on how to continue your practice. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions. Keep on the hard work! -------------------- My lessons
